D'Lite White

Hello friends,

Do you all remember the Atomic Light Bulb? The real (but modified) glass bulb that light up only for you? This is a fun prop. I got my first one of these in a novelty shop at Fisherman's Wharf in San Fransisco about 30 years ago. Man I am getting old.

We still sell them. There are here on our Halloween web site, an assecory for an Uncle Fester costume.

Anyway, I always liked this prop, but there were always things that bugged me about it, not bright enough was the biggie and had to be that exact bulb.

Many years ago while I was working here at Ronjo, we had some left over stock of Ammedeo Vacca's (Houdini's advance man, performer, magic inventor & Ronjo's teacher) Magic Light Bulb trick. Vacca's version used an unusual but store bought mini flash light that was painted in a flesh color and attached to a pull (see Universal Pull by Vernet).

When Rocco first produced D'lite, the instructions & video show using D'lite to illuminate Ice Cubes & crystals. Neat but did anyone ever use D'lites for anything other than throwing & catching balls of light that magically appeared from thin air?

No too long ago, they put out a new color, D'lite white. In our experience D'lite White is the least popular seller but it is also the ones that make the most sense. You can still catch & grab balls of light. Making a crystal or ice cube glow in white seems in a weird sort of way, at least to me, more believable. And they are perfect for use to illuminate any light bulb. So get out there and start the whole D'lite craze all over again!

Thanks for reading.

Talk to you soon.
Pete
